0 someone who jumps out of an aircraft wearing a parachute on their back, especially as a sport or a military job
One of those aeroplanes makes a peculiar grinding noise when it flies up to disgorge parachutists?
Recruits to the parachute regiment are required to complete a minimum of eight jumps from aircraft in order to qualify as a military parachutist.
Do you mean a plan of landing parachutists, or the landing in large numbers of troop carriers?
Is there anyone who is looking for parachutists from dawn to dusk?
The parachutists entered a layer of light cloud at 6,000 feet, and emerged from it slightly above 2,000 feet.
Considerable precautions are taken to ensure the safety of parachutists on training exercises.
It has never seemed appropriate in the past to consider parachutists.
After all, they would not sound the same as they would if they were being rung by the vicar when 25 parachutists had arrived.
